Third- and fourth-year students majoring in Journalism had the opportunity to attend a remote meeting with Luhansk journalist Oleksandr Belokobylskyi as part of their internship at the Tribune socio-political observer. This is an online media outlet that publishes news about the Donbas.
At the meeting, the interns learned about the specifics of working with the occupied regions and were able to ask questions about the need to communicate with people who remain in the occupied territories.
Based on Oleksandr’s professionalism and experience, the future journalists realized that they would have a difficult but great mission of information work in the liberated Luhansk region.
In addition, the future journalists met online with a journalist from the Netherlands, Misha van Diepen. He shared his experience of working in the Netherlands and in Ukraine. The students were able to ask all their questions, and the guest gave equally interesting and clear answers. The journalist spoke about the similarities and differences between Ukrainian and European media and gave advice on how to distribute Ukrainian content in Europe. The knowledge and experience of the European correspondent will become a solid foundation for future journalists to start their work.
